I am not sure how or where to begin, so i will ramble some words down, sorry
What would be a nice ev to start with.
The most expensive thing on such a car,are the battery's, so i am looking for a cheap second handed ev.
The more cheaper they get the worse the batteries are.
I would like to make my own battery and that is it.
For what i have read so far about the electronics in most ev's, it's not in my thing.
Probably i will end up like this: hamer good car bad...smash.
Computers will stop the car if they don't know where the extra power is coming from?
You must program them? sorry not for me.
I would also like to store more power with time, ofcourse not to overload the car.
At the other hand: a trailer full, for a 1000 mile road trip?(not entirely joking btw)
I was thinking about a station,van or pickup, just for me, my better half(& the doggies) and work.
So i must also be able to get some stuff from a to b, not only grocery's.
For my better half a Opel ampera or such only for her work.
I restored two old Cadillacs incl engine, with success, so body work is no big deal.
I think for my case it would be easier to buy a second hand ev and remakethe battery orrip everythingout and buy a complete plug and play system? If something like this exist?
(converting a dodge w200 )
What and where would be a good place to start, except this million dollar forum, to go for "plug and drive" diy systems.
And a car brand? a friend of mine suggested Opel, they should be easy with the batteries to expand or renew them.
I am aware of the laws in my country about this, not impossible or illegal.
Any idea or thoughts are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
